Stock Market Today

  • US Stocks Surge on US-Iran Ceasefire as Oil Prices Plunge
    April 9, 2026, 4:48 AM EDT. U.S. stock markets rallied sharply on Wednesday, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 all closing at four-week highs. The gains followed a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, including Iran's pledge to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route. This diplomatic easing sent crude oil prices down over 15% to a 1.5-week low, alleviating inflation concerns and boosting global bond markets. Futures for S&P and Nasdaq indexes also surged. Despite positive market reactions, analysts caution that deeper negotiations continue as Iran has yet to meet U.S. demands on its nuclear program and missile arsenal. Oil remains volatile due to ongoing regional risks, with a significant backlog of ships in the Gulf affecting normal flows.
